- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp dried oregano
For the Sticky Sauce:

- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp sriracha
- 2 tsp sesame oil

For the Bowls:

- 1/2 cup shredded carrots
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1/2 cup seaweed salad (optional)
- Sesame seeds, for garnish
Spicy Mayo:
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp sriracha
- 2–3 tbsp water (to thin)
Instructions
- Cook rice according to package instructions. Fluff and set aside.
- Season sliced chicken with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, chili powder, onion powder, and oregano.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until golden and fully cooked through. Remove from pan and set aside.
- Steam or sauté broccoli until tender-crisp.
- In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, garlic, sriracha, sesame oil, and ginger.
- Return chicken to skillet over medium-low heat. Pour sauce over chicken. Stir in arrowroot slurry and simmer until sauce thickens and coats the chicken.
- Mix spicy mayo ingredients until smooth and drizzle-ready.
- Assemble bowls: add rice, broccoli, carrots, avocado, and chicken. Drizzle with spicy mayo and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Lower heat when adding honey sauce to prevent burning.
- If sauce thickens too quickly, add 1–2 tbsp water to loosen.
- Chicken thighs can be used for a juicier texture.
- Great for meal prep—store components separately for up to 4 days.
- Swap rice for cauliflower rice for a lower-carb option.
